We are setting up this meeting to explore the role of the media during a health scare. We will discuss the challenges of defining a health scare and some examples that might fit that definition, and debate what role journalists have in helping the public to understand the issue without exacerbating anxieties. 

Please note that due to space restrictions, this meeting is invitation only. An agenda and full details will be sent by the organiser. Dinner on the 9th, and lunch on the 10th and 11th will be covered, but attendees will need to arrange and pay for their own travel and accommodation.
